Start Of Early Voting Sees Heavy Turnout In Capital
CARSON CITY – Scores of people waited in line at the county courthouse here this morning to become some of the first of more than 1.2 million registered voters statewide to cast ballots in the Nov. 6 general election.
Early voting starts today and runs through Friday, Nov. 2.
“We anticipate about 75 percent to 80 percent of registered voters will cast a ballot in the general election, although we are hopeful that turnout might exceed our projections,” Secretary of State Ross Miller said ahead of today’s voting kickoff.
Early voting poll locations are posted in the “Election Center” on the Secretary of State’s website, www.nvsos.gov, or accessible by clicking here.
The Secretary of State’s office will post voter turnout statistics, including county and political party breakdowns, to the website daily beginning Monday, Oct. 22.
Carson City Clerk-Recorder Alan Glover told the Nevada Appeal he expects well over half of the community’s 29,000 registered voters to cast ballots during the early-voting process.
